The built-in Voice Memos app isn't bad, but I don't like that I have to sync it with iTunes to get my longer memos off the phone. Also, I had some problems with it duplicating memos. After a while, I got totally fed up with the whole issue and purchased Dropvox. It's a great little app! I do wish they would implement a upload only over wifi feature. It's supposedly in the pipeline for a future update, but who knows when that's coming out? They're also supposed to be adding quality settings, too, which I will appreciate. Other than those few things, I really like the app.
